[Bug 1032779] Re: Wireless chipset not detected on pandaboard

[Brian Murray]

It looks to me like the firmware for the driver is missing:

Jan  1 00:00:41 ubuntu kernel: [   43.133026] wl12xx: ERROR could not get nvs file ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin: -2

Jan  1 00:00:43 ubuntu kernel: [   44.308410] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

That is a linux-firmware issue.
